Lethal Weapon Actor Gary Busey Is Hitman’s Next Elusive Target

No, it’s not a joke. Starting July 21, Gary Busey, Hollywood actor and star of films like Lethal Weapon and Point Break, will be immortalized in the world of Hitman, not as a friendly NPC, but an Elusive Target that the player must track down and kill.

At this point, you’re probably asking yourselves, ‘why Gary Busey?’ The answer is quite simple: he was included as part of a ‘Choose Your Hit’ campaign held by IO Interactive that asked players to choose between Busey or Gary Cole to be an in-game target.

Following the successful online campaign to ‘Choose Your Hit’, where fans voted who would appear in HITMAN as a special target between two Hollywood big-hitters Gary Cole and Gary Busey.
Gary Busey won and will appear in HITMAN as an Elusive Target for 7 days.

Hitman‘s seventh contract, dubbed ‘The Wildcard’ goes live at 14:00 CEST / 05:00 PDT later this week, and will take Agent 47 back to Sapienza in search of Mr. Busey. You’ll have a whole week to take him out, so good luck! Oh, and case you need a refresher on the rules of an Elusive Target hit, see below for the key points you’ll want to keep make note of.

Elusive Target Rules:

Elusive Targets are added to the game for a limited time in real-time. They won’t return.

You only get one chance to take them down. If you die, you fail the contract and cannot retry it.

Elusive Targets do not show up on the in-game map or Instinct. You need to locate and identify them with limited intel.

Every Elusive Target adds two unique challenges to the game; one ‘target’ challenge for eliminating the specific Elusive Target and a ‘Silent Assassin’ challenge for eliminating the target without being spotted and without any non-target casualties.
